Transparent Oracle Sunday!
48, Venus
(Above). The direction of
Above takes us up and out of the four traditional elements of Air, Fire, Water
and Earth, and reminds us that we are but a small part of the Cosmos. Above also reminds us that while the
Machinery of the Universe is huge, it does have an effect on each of us, and
each of us is an important part of the workings of that Machine. The planet Venus corresponds with the element of Earth, and it
represents all love and relationships and connections. This also encompasses mothering,
nurturing, healing, the pleasing of the senses, and an appreciation for beauty.
42, Guide: Angel (Above). Angel is the Guide for the Celestial
Realm, and you could say that Angel is one of the messengers who bridges the
gap between us and the vast expanses of the Universe. When Angel appears in a spread, some event or effect may
have more significance than I think, and I had better pay attention.
13, Element: Fire (South). South is the direction of the midday sun
and the peak of power and illumination; this direction is associated with
passionate drive and creativity. Fire has often been used as a
representation of Spirit or the Divine, and this makes sense. Fire brings transformation, animation
or life, courage, and intent. Fire
has its dangers, though; it brings transformation through destruction that
brings new birth.
I stacked my
cards and created my mandala.
Visually, this one seems to focus the eyes to the pentagram in the
circle, which is the center of the Angel card. That pentagram fits right over the circle that is a part of
the symbol for Venus, making it look as if both symbols are actually one. Each of the flames on the symbol for
Fire are emanating from the third eye of each of the Angels, and if it was not
for the bottom part of the symbol for Venus, the image would have no grounding
at all. I am reminded that Fire is
a well known symbol for the Spirit and for the Divine, as are Angels. I am being reminded as well that my own
feelings and pleasures are an important part of the manifestations around
me. I should look for
synchronicities this week, and I do need to remember that they may not be
comfortable experiences, but they just might end up being life-changing
experiences.
I leave for the
Dominican Republic on Wednesday, for my annual visit with my son. Perhaps the messages will come to me
during my time preparing for the trip, or even more likely, while I am visiting
my son under the warm Caribbean sun.
